dear glenn. i met a boy named craig from park slope on the g train who went to your show saturday night. he said that the show was awesome. i unfortunately was not at your show, but i wanted to write you and tell you that i am glad you played it so that i got to talk to this boy. i am also hoping that he will read this or someone that knows him will read this and he will be somehow rerouted to me because i failed to give him my phone number. and i should have. =) oh, and he said the show was awesome. said it brought him outta a funk he'd been in. lovely, lovely. =)
Glenn, loved the show tonight! Nice work from the whole band. Tremendous song selection, and great encores! Thanks for a wonderful time! Keep up the good work.
